 The only peeler you will ever needJun 12, 2000
If you own a peeler now that is not an OXO, throw it away. Once you try this peeler, you will never want another.I have never been particularly adept with peelers. I have found that most did have sharp enough blades and did not peel easily. Most required a lot of pressure and caused hand pain. Not this perfect peeler! The swivel design goes smoothly around the curves of fruits and vegetables and the sharp blade makes peeling light duty. You never have to worry about the peeler slipping out of your hand, thanks to its wonderful handle design. The new stainless steel gives the peeler a very modern look. While OXO Good Grips were designed with arthritis sufferers in mind, anyone in any kitchen will benefit from this superb product. Once you buy a Good Grips gadget, you'll want the entire line!

Best OXO peeler yetJul 18, 2005
By GX
I have had several OXO peelers, and this is the best so far. It looks great, cuts great and is very easy to hold. It is very sharp out of the box, and after 6 months of use it is still going strong.

Sharp and Comfortable to HoldJan 03, 2004
By Practical Gourmet

I've had this peeler for over a year now, and use it frequently. Being from Maine, and living in a beautiful area of small farms, I always felt a bit guilty that I rarely made mashed potatoes, potato salad etc., as I HATED to peel potatoes, even local ones. This peeler changed that! I find the large, yet comfortably curved handle is very comfortable to grip, much more so than Y shaped peelers or even Oxo's other "Good Grips" line. The rubber grip on the sides makes it less likely to slide from your hand than plastic or solid metal handled peelers. The blade is VERY sharp. Yes, this can be dangerous if you are not careful; however, I've learned first hand a sharp blade is less dangerous than a dull blade (ouch). And it is, after all, a kind of knife designed to cut the skins from vegetables. The blade swivels freely, closely following the shape of the vegetable, and the gap in the blade is wide enough that the skins don't get jammed in, requiring frequent removal. All in all I think this is a great peeler, and I include it with my standard wedding/housewarming gift of kitchen gadgets. I highly recommend it.

Love itMay 16, 2006
By Alexandra Tayrien
I've always had issues with peelers (probably because I've only ever had the really cheap ones), but the OXO peeler is great! It's really sharp, is comfortable to hold, and, most importantly, peels quickly and easily.

Received as a gift setOct 16, 2011
By Morgan Smith
These OXO kitchen tools have proven to be amazing! I have yet to find anything that compares. I have always dreaded using peelers, they always catch, get blocked by debris or just feel cheap and dangerous. At least until I used this one. We have a few different peelers for when working together in the kitchen, and we always "fight" over who gets to use this one. As for quality, it hasn't rusted or shown any defects in almost two years of use. This includes throwing it in the dishwasher! The handle is large, comfortable and easy to grip. The blade cuts smoothly across the fruits and vegetables, flowing with the shape of whatever you're peeling.
I was so impressed, I have a cart full of their products ready to buy when I move into my new house. Not only has this piece performed flawlessly, but the entire set I received has too. I can only imagine how well the rest of their products will serve me.
Whether for yourself or a gift (or both), OXO won't disappoint!
